this happened right before the benghazi hearings. petraeus is supposed to have testified at those hearings on thursday. critics are questioning, why are we hearing about all of this later rather than sooner? >> what the fbi and the justice department say is that in the middle of this investigation -- and you have to remember, this starts out with an allegation that had nothing to do with david petraeus, it was thought. this was a woman in tampa, a volunteer at the joint command down there, who goes to an fbi agent who's a friend of hers and says, i'm getting these weird e-mails that are threatening and intimidating. it looked to her initially like they were coming from more than one person because they were sent from more than one e-mail account. so the fbi opens an investigation into a potential cyber crime, a potential sort of cyber stalking case. that's how it all got started in late september. now, during that month and a half or so that the fbi is investigating this, it has to discover who the e-mails are coming from. officials

., including those calling rice incompetent for her handling of the benghazi terror attack. >> these are code words. we heard them during the campaign. during this recent campaign, we heard senator sununu calling our president lazy, incompetent. these kinds of terms that those of us, especially those of us who are born and raised in the south, we've been hearing these little words and phrases all of our lives, and we get insulted by them. >> let's bring in republican strategist and former huckabee campaign manager dick salzman and former campaign manager steve elmendorf. good morning. >> good morning. >> steve, could race have something to do with the opposition to rice as clyburn suggests? >> they haven't come up with any, to me, any substantive reason they're opposed to susan rice. i think the republicans need to understand that we won the election and that the president generally gets to pick his team and if he's not going to get to pick his team, they have to have a real good substantive reason not. i haven't heard john mccain or lindsey grame say susan rice should not be secreta

truth it was joe biden claiming that they acted based on intelligence information by stating that the benghazi attack was the result of a video, and now even to this day saying they had no knowledge of requests for increased security at the embassy when we heard in security hearings on wednesday there were repeated requests by members of the defense department to have increased security. those requests for denied. they felt as though the taliban were itself inside the building. i think these are some questions if joe biden and barack obama did not know about this, either they're ignorant or misleading the american people, neither of which should be tolerated. >> three lightning round questions for all three of you. answer ryan or biden. first question, who attracted more voters from the middle after yesterday? joy-ann? >> i would think biden. on the medicare question, that is the most important pressing question to a lot of seniors. medicare, biden. >> chris? >> biden. passion resonates probably more than ryan and ryan didn't do what he had to in terms of undercutting vice president biden. >>
